7 Women And A Murder Review: A passable whodunnit!

Story: Marcello, the household patriarch is stabbed, and 7 ladies—every with their very own ulterior motives—discover themselves stranded in a mansion whereas attempting to unravel the crime.

Evaluation: ‘7 Ladies and a Homicide’ is directed by Alessandro Genovesi, who has co-written this homicide thriller with Lisa Nur Sultan. The movie opens with Susanna (Diana Del Bufalo), who returns dwelling for Christmas eve to spend time together with her household, which incorporates her dad and mom Marcello and Margherita (Margherita Purchase), aunt Agostina (Sabrina Impacciatore), grandmother Rachelle (Ornella Vanoni), rebellious sister Caterina (Benedetta Porcaroli), and a newly employed maid, Maria (Luisa Ranieri). Susanna’s go to, nevertheless, rapidly turns right into a nightmare when her father is found useless in his room. Consequently, all the ladies in the home launched into a seek for the assassin. They think one another whereas investigating the case, however is certainly one of them a assassin or are they on the unsuitable monitor? That is the central theme of the movie.

This 85-minute movie appears like an outdated story with nothing new to supply. One can simply predict what is going to seem on-screen subsequent. Moreover, the screenplay suffers from the fixed try and inject wit and humour into the story. Each member of the ladies’s gang has their points and a motive to kill, however the story solely reveals every member’s darkest secrets and techniques separately. Even so, the movie incorporates quite a lot of completely different components to maintain the viewers engaged within the plot and interested in who the assassin is. Sadly, this solely lasts a couple of minutes, and the movie feels stretched so as to merely inform the tales of those ladies.

Everybody delivers a honest efficiency, however their efforts are undermined by weak writing. Diana Del Bufalo appears to be like gorgeous and admirable. Each, Margherita Buys, who performs Marcello’s distraught spouse Margherita, and Benedetta Porcaroli, who performs the home’s rebellious baby, play their components properly. Micaela Ramazzotti as Marcello’s outdated flame appears to be like beautiful and provides to the story’s intriguing turns. Ornella Vanoni’s efficiency because the drunk and miserly grandmother is solely humorous.

All stated, this Italian homicide thriller is like an outdated wine served in an outdated bottle that fails to be a gripping flick.
